	<h2>Dream journal</h2>
	<p>
		I dreamed that Death, a personification of death, had come for someone in the form of an unimposing human.
		I tried to reason with Death to get them not to take them.
		When that didn&apos;t work, I tried to bargain with death, offering myself in their place.
	</p>
	<p>
		The person I was trying to save took the opportunity while Death was distracted by me to assault Death, in an attempt to take Death out to escape.
		That was not part of the plan I&apos;d discussed with them.
		Death had only let their guard down because they trusted me - this wasn&apos;t the first time I&apos;d had dealings with Death - and the person I&apos;d been trying to save had taken advantage of that trust.
	</p>
	<p>
		I tied the person up and handed them over to death.
		I needed to make it clear that assaulting Death had never been a part of my plan, and that it&apos;d been a violation of my trust in the person I was trying to save, not a violation of Death&apos;s trust in me.
		I also needed to make it clear to the dying that abusing someone&apos;s trust in me isn&apos;t acceptable.

	<h2>Dietary intake</h2>
	<p>
		For breakfast, I had 85 grams of cereal and 108 grams of soy milk.
		For lunch, I had spaghetti, cashew sauce (it didn&apos;t turn out cheesy, but was still good), and a chopped veggie dog mixed into it.
		In total, it was all 486 grams.
		That had actually been my planned dinner for the day, but I ended up swapping it with my lunch.
		For dinner, I had a salad with seasoning salt and balsamic vinegar instead of salad dressing, topped with sunflower seeds, which totalled 131 grams.
		I also had 100 grams of pretzels later as a snack.

		My discussion posts for the day:

	<blockquote>

			It&apos;s interesting to hear where Apple is going with their filesystems.
			Thank you for sharing!
			Unlike Microsoft, Apple seems to continuing to add improvements and develop new filesystems.
		</p>
		<p>
			I&apos;m confused though by your statement that the Apple File System lacks support for other filesystems though.
			In what way does one filesystem support another?
			Or are you saying that Apple is dropping support for other filesystems?
			That would be a disadvantage of Apple operating systems though, not a disadvantage of their filesystem.
		</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			I&apos;m confused by what the advancement you wrote about actually entails.
			You say that Windows still can&apos;t read Linux filesystems, but can now copy, move, and access files created by Linux-based systems.
			What does that even mean?
			Files from Windows and files from Linux are identical on the level the filesystem sees.
			Even the oldest versions of Windows can access, move, and copy these files when they&apos;re on a filesystem Windows can read.
			So what has changed?
		</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			You make an interesting point about magnetic tapes being inexpensive.
			Perhaps more companies will migrate to more-reliable mediums as the costs of those mediums drop.
			At least, we can hope that&apos;ll happen.
			It&apos;s worth noting though that even with falling costs, it&apos;s still more costly to switch to a new system than it is to replace your backup system with a new one.
			That means that the falling costs will likely prompt new companies to use the new, more-reliable media, but not as many older companies.
			Even as old tapes wear out, they can choose to replace the single defective tape or replace their system with the new system.
			Replacing the single tape is cheaper, so that&apos;s what many of them will do.
			It&apos;s not likely they&apos;d keep mostly tapes and one drive of another type until the next tape wears out.
			In other words, they&apos;re not going to slowly phase in the new system.
			It&apos;s pretty much an all or nothing leap, which means it&apos;s not likely to happen for older companies.
